September 27, 2006 - the site's official launch!
This is a very exciting time for me. I'm glad to have my site up. I plan to start spreading the word on forums and stuff soon, just as soon as I get the PayPal set up and donations ready to run.
Work on the site has NOT been easy - every time I took it for granted that a technical thing would work, it backfired. Images weren't loading, music wasn't loading - stuff was messy. I've sort of viewed it as digitally moving into a new house, and getting everything packed wasn't easy.
So September will officially be the month during which I got things working. Getting links working, getting content up, solving a few site crises. Now all that's left on my technical laundary-list is to get the donation links running.
With any luck, October will be the month where I become a famous virtuoso of the game design world and get showered in praise, food, and video games.
After that, November's just going to be kinda meh, I guess.
On that note, I cut nonexistant red tape with big nonexistant scissors and government officials begin a slow-clap, because the Street Corner Arcade has just launched.

Everything is about to start. My games just need tightening, music will be done soon, and I'm about to start getting feedback. Exciting!



Pre-Blog Blog (August 9th, 2006)

I've been considering the idea behind this site for a while. I have a lot of lofty ideas, but this one stuck. And as I research, it seems like this one can come to fruition.
We live in an entertainment-friendly society. But not really an art-friendly one. We see art as what is pretty, or what is happy - what entertains.
I don't know what the line between art and entertainment is. But I do know that it's certainly possible to entertain without being art.
Our society runs on advertising, sadly. That breeds insincerity, and I think insincerity ruins art.
It's up to digital-age artists to confront that. Advertise, create art, but don't fuse the two. We have new options - new models - to invent. Or old ones to reimagine. That's what I hope this site can do.
